Since its founding in 2017 OMCF has worked with partners like Travel Oregon, Portland Film Office, Regional Arts and Culture Council and Outside the Frame to distribute more than $250,000 in grants and subsidies to help cultivate and train the creative community in Oregon. ### **Past projects highlights:** - ["What We Lost Along the Way" (OAFG 2023 Grantee)](https://youtu.be/IBdPaYDofpY?feature=shared) - ["You Go Girl!"
